Yeah,
 
I'm burned on EVGA.
I'm not saying there aren't others just like them.
I'm saying it doesn't matter what you buy, these people have no intention to provide active support for the hardware.
I don't care how jazzed the marketing says the CEO was.
He either forgot, or moved on...
I care that I'm now one motherboard and two audio cards into ****ing nothing.
Now I've got this great, unfinished, card here.
That can't even direct crossover frequencies.
So I have to what?  Put a hardware DSP in between my enthusiast card and my analog 5 channel amplifier???
Thanks EVGA.

Active support is indeed provided.
For support, you are best served to contact them directly by creating a ticket against your hardware here.

So, if I submit a ticket, they'll email me an updated driver?
Because that's what I was talking about.
A lack of continued software support for the really expensive hardware they sell.
An evolving feature set would be nice, but also, you know, little things like... Windows 11 compatibility.
For example.

I don't know about an evolving feature set, but as far as I know the features are pretty complete.
Nu Audio Pro driver v1.0.3 is working fine for me on Win11. What issues are you seeing in Win11, not including your original issue with 3 speakers (L, R, C)?

I get it, your job is to counter with pro corporate messaging.
It is reasonable to say that 1 year with no driver updates is a problem for some, maybe not for you - but that's not really the point.
This is an enthusiast card, I'm not here to debate why enthusiasts might want features like setting crossover frequencies in the sound card's software.
But... I fully admit that I do want that functionality.
You might not think it's a big deal, and I'm sincerely happy you've found your hardware happy place.
Others perhaps see zero ongoing driver support as a lack of commitment, or even abandonment, on EVGA's part.
 
The solution to the other problem was to purchase a replacement card and sell the previous one, it seems there was an issue with the daughter card.
To get back to my original point, this is not a thread or device-specific position.
Firmware updates, Bios updates, security updates, driver updates, are all part of a manufacturer's commitment to the consumer.
EVGA just doesn't seem to be in that game.
My motherboard hasn't seen so much as a security patch in three years...
I just think recognizing that, in a driver thread of a potentially abandoned card, is fair game.

EVGA stopped releasing driver updates for this device when they released the Pro version, some years ago.

I literally was about to remove the Nu Audio card and install the Creative Sound Blaster AE-7 I just got into my computer today, I'll try this update and see how it goes.
